The leader of the Socialist PASOK party in Greece is starting efforts to build a government, his party said Thursday, making him the third Greek politician since Sunday to make the attempt.

The PASOK party of Evangelos Venizelos came in third in parliamentary elections on Sunday, and his effort to hammer out a workable coalition comes after the heads of the parties that came in first and second admitted defeat.

He will have an uphill battle after voters angry about tough government budget cuts backed parties on the far left and right, punishing PASOK and New Democracy, the more moderate parties that made the cuts.

@ chrissy i understood that when you told that to me. i have had a moocher on my couch also. can you believe he was a gay man that i felt sorry for. i gave him a car and a job. 6 months later he quit his job and sold his car. i then moved his belongings under a bridge and told him that is where he can live.as i said before i misjudged you and i apologize. do you want to know why i put his stuff under a bridge? because he was complaining about how i make him work to hard on facebook. he then had the nerve to tell me he was raised to be a housewife. i told him that he had the wrong thing between his legs and he can play housewife under the bridge.

@ chrissy if you cant get him out because hes playing the squatter game that leaves you 3 options. 1 move into a hotel temporarily. remove all furniture. cut off all utilities. option 2 wait till he leaves for a few hours. change the door locks and put his stuff on the curb. 3 return game and show him you are a complete psycho who knows where he sleeps. STEP 3 IS VERY AFFECTIVE!

@veteran:
No, my husband didn't cheat on me, that was someone who hijacked my name, as chrissy said.
We both tke our vows to heart; we would never break eacjlh other's hearts.
I guess you missed the part where it was removed, because CNN doesn't like hijackers.
I'm sorry that winter was so bad for you financially. May spring and summer be better for you.
Your Tigers got lucky, lol. Nah, since the exit of Ozzie, they're going to have a restructuring kind of year.
I don't think they're going to have the greatest year, although I love them anyhow.
My daughter is traveling with her job, so I have the grandbaby.
She is a pip! She keeps me going.
My hubs is still the best man in creation, and he is still one of the most decent humans on the face of the planet.
And my youngest graduates this year!

What a world we live in where 12 year olds get shot while sleeping in their beds, and the most pressing issue on everyone's minds is the non-issue of whether two people who are they same gender get married or not.

As for my two cents worth, freedom from gang retaliation is far more important.
